Opening


Roza
▶︎ Akino Roza here.

David
▶︎ And I’m David Evans. I think I worried about parent-teacher conferences more
when I was a kid … than I do as a parent

Dialogue

① How is Ethan doing at school? at school の意味 】
👉
at school 「学校での」というわけですが、こんな簡単なフレーズでもしっかり覚えていないと
なかなか出て来ません。

Overall, he’s doing well.【 overall の位置に注意「指定」 】
👉 overall これは「全体的に、概して」文の一番最初に置かれているのは、全体の内容を
指定するからなんですね。「指定」は前に置く、しっかりと覚えておきましょう。

That’s good to hear. 【 元の形は、hear that 】
👉さあ、That’s good to hear. という文が出ていましたね。判断あるいは印象を表す形容詞に
特徴的な使い方です。hear that と主語は、hear の目的語として働いている意味関係 – そこに注意して
練習しましょう。

His math is decent, …【 decent の意味 】
👉さあ、decent という形容詞が出て来ました。これは「そこそこいい」という形容詞。ものすごく
いい、というわけではありません。

He‘s been focusing more on othe subjects lately.【 現在完了進行形のニュアンス 】
👉 he’s been focusing というフレーズが出て来ましたね。現在完了進行形です。focus するという
行為が focusing, focusing, focusing – 過去から現在まで続いている、そうしたことを表す形です。

Pronunciation Polish

Today’s Sentence:I see what you mean.

Roza
▶︎ You look excited. Oh, that makes sense. It’s time to practice our pronunciation.
Today’s sentence is …
・I see what you mean.
・I see what you mean.

Now in the dialogue this sentence was pronunced
as “I see what you mean.”
But in today’s pracitce we’ll be practicing “what you mean.”
So that’s the main point we’ll focus on today.
Repeat after me.
what you, what you
what you mean, what you mean
・I see what you mean.
・I see what you mean.

OK.
A little faster now.
・I see what you mean.

Great.
You’re ready for natural speed?
Let’s go!
・I see what you mean.
・I see what you mean.

Great work, everyone.
Now for a little bit of extra practice.
We can say “what you” as “whacha” to make it even shorter.
So let’s practice that as fun as well.
・I see what you mean.
・I see what you mean.

Great.
How did you do?
I hop you had fun with this short and sweet pronunciation polish.
Keep on practicing.

Ending

David
▶︎ OK, Sensei. I have to go. I have parent-teacher conferences after this.

Onishi
▶︎ Oh, that makes sense. I wonder why you are dressed up like that.

David
▶︎ Don’t get me wrong. I take them very seriously.
I just don’t worry because both of my daughter and her teachers are wonderful.

Roza
▶︎ So, Sensei, why are you dressed like that?

Onishi
▶︎ This is my ordinary day, so like this as always.
